There are conflicting reports this week on the question of whether the FBI is currently investigating possible corruption within the Clinton Foundation. CNN’s report that the DOJ quashed the FBI’s request to open an investigation has been contradicted by The Daily Caller, which is reporting that there is a joint FBI-U.S. Attorney probe currently being conducted. The FBI, the U.S. Attorney’s office and the FBI director himself have all declined to comment on the possibility of an ongoing investigation.

Opening an investigation allows them to seek and destroy evidence, to uncover in advance material with which later to discredit witnesses, and to intimidate by threatening sanctions against anyone who might publish material that would “compromise” or “obstruct” their investigation. Names of the uncooperative could be added to the Clinton “little list”,

I think it is safe to assume that most of the 33,000 deleted emails were not about yoga and Chelsea’s wedding but were actually concerned with the Clinton Foundation racketbusiness charity. It’s also a pretty safe bet that the Russians (and probably the Iranians and the Chinese) have them.

I’ve heard that Assange wants revenge against the Clintons (reasonably enough) but the problem may be that the Russians et al would rather have a compromised Clinton in the Presidency who can be manipulated.

There ya go again, thinking that the Russians are always rational actors.
I say Putin (for whatever numerous reasons) has a personal hatred of Obama and a very serious dislike for Hillary, but thinks he can do business with Trump.
Russians, contrary to their reputation, tend to take “business” personally.

I blame New York City, it always shows up in these stories.

Vladimir dislikes ugly old women. He clearly loathes Merkel. Russians ARE a tad sexist that way. Old ugly sows have no place on the Russian stage. They also tend to PROTECT their women as opposed to pretending to “support”/”worship” them. Russian mainstream society is not anti-masculinity the way western countries have become. I don’t think there is nearly as much misandry at play in Russian contexts. It must be so nice………

I was inspired just now:
“There was a crooked broad, and she walked a crooked mile.
She founded a crooked NPO, and made a crooked pile.
She had a crooked kid, by a randy, crooked spouse,
And they all lived together in a big crooked house.”
